I started a new thread because updates are buried on page 3 of the original thread.

Steve Saleen Signature EventAll Ford Nationals, Carlisle, Pennsylvania, June 7-9, 2013The Saleen Owners and Enthusiasts Club has been working to schedule Steve Saleen’s appearance at the 2013 All Ford Nationals, Carlisle, Pennsylvania. For several years, Carlisle participants have asked “when is Steve Saleen going to return to ?” The answer is in 2013! Plans have not been finalized, but Steve & Liz Saleen plan to attend on Friday, June 7 and Saturday, June 8. Steve will have autograph sessions and will sign Saleen vehicles. Avoid long autograph lines. Try to attend on Friday. Plans are being made for Friday dinner at a restaurant in a plaza around the corner from the fairgrounds’ back gate. This is an SOEC members and friends dinner. We need reservations by Saturday, June 1 for the dinner at Marcello’s Ristorante, 900 Cavalry Rd., Carlisle, PA. Send name, Saleen Forums handle, Saleen number, and quantity for dinner to Betsy Beyer at saleen351@comcast.net

Supercharged, 700-horsepower, Saleen 351 Speedster #2013-001, Prototype for 2014 Saleen 351, will be at the event. If there is any change in the plans, members will be notified by a post on the soec.org events.

Goody bags to those who pre-register under SOEC -- this helps support SOEC.

Tentatively, Steve & Liz Saleen will drive the new Supercharged Saleen 351 Prototype #2013-001 in the Carlisle Events parade into downtown Carlisle Saturday after the show.

Carlisle, June 7, 2013 Dinner UpdateWe had an over whelming response for the dinner with Steve Saleen on June 7, 2013 at Carlisle, Pennsylvania. We made arrangements to use the main dining room as well as the adjacent smaller dining room. With the addition of the extra room, we can still accept 10 more reservations, but the reservation will be for the adjacent dining room. There is an open large archway separating the 2 rooms, so those who sit in that room aren’t too removed from the rest of the group. Finding a convenient place for dinner usually means a long wait in line at most restaurants, so joining us for dinner is recommended!

For everyone who has reservations for the dinner, I have sent you a message confirming your reservation. Please check in with me at the SOEC tent by 2:00 on Friday to confirm your reservation. If you can’t make it to the show field by 2:00, but you will be at the dinner, please send me an e-mail message on Thursday, June 6 or Friday morning, June 7 to confirm your reservation.

When you check in at the SOEC tent on June 7, the day of the dinner, we hope to have a menu order sheet for you to choose your dinner. The restaurant manager will meet with me on Wednesday, June 5 to finalize plans.

If your plans change, please send an e-mail message to me to cancel your reservation as soon as possible to make room for others.

All SOEC members should have "SOEC Member" under their username on the forum -- If you are a SOEC member (or think you are a SOEC Member) and do not have "SOEC Member" under your username, please let me know via Email or PM -- please make sure I have your username and real name.

Although the show runs until 5:00, Friday isn’t the big busy day, so we have permission to leave at 4:15. Please stay at the show until 4:15. The restaurant we are going to is Marcello's Ristorante, 900 Cavalry Rd., PA. You can check Google Maps. It is in a plaza behind the fair grounds.

If possible, we want you to get your autographs done on Friday. If you are able to get your items autographed on Friday, we will ask that you don’t go through the autograph line again on Saturday to allow time for others. With the exciting news that about 120 Saleen vehicles registered, it is really important that on Friday we get as many vehicles autographed as possible. We know that some people can’t attend on Friday, so we will make sure that your vehicles get signed on Saturday. Steve will have 2 autograph sessions on Saturday, as well as 2 Q&A sessions at the Carlisle seminar tent.

I know that you all want a chance to chat with Steve, but please keep your time brief so we can get all of the autographs done!
